Ajiu's Journey

The old man saw that she was wearing a small monk's robe and thought that she was a child being made use of by a swindler. But she was a little too obedient to be a swindler.

The old man had a good heart. After thinking for a moment, he took out $10 from his pocket and handed it to little Ajiu. "I don't know the place you mentioned, but take this money. If you're thirsty, you can buy something to drink."

Little Ajiu looked at the money in her small palm and was a little confused. She tilted her head and her eyes were full of question marks.

Why did the old man give her money when she asked for directions?

"I don't want the money. Ajiu has money," the little girl said and returned the money. Then, she put her palms together and chanted, "Amitabha."

Since this old man didn't know the way, she was going to another place to ask.

But even at a different intersection, someone would give her money.
